Leon owns OnlyBestSex. Shark is his reviewer. Those are their names here on GG&Jim. Shark is known on Master-X as Sharkmaster. I don't know if Leon posts there.
I can understand that submitters are angry at GG for his blind recip rule. After all, he made the rule. I'm not sure how many link list owners cared or even noticed that so many other link lists were dropping their names from their recips. (My list's name was missing for a long time as well.) Certainly, no one else said anything until GG did. But his recip rule is based on a long-running concept of what is or isn't blind, so it's difficult to argue with. That rule doesn't apply at my lists, so I really don't have to give it much consideration.
But I also don't care how a submitter links to me, so if they need to edit my recip so that only reads, "Useless is a cunt," that's fine with me.
But I don't understand why some people seem to be angry at GG for OnlyBestSex's new rule against submitting to GG. They are the ones who will reject your free site if you put their link list's name in their recip. They are the ones who will reject your site if it has GG's recip. That's why I say, bitch at Leon - or if he's hiding, bitch at Sharkmaster.
I'd love to ask them if they really think that they are going to kill the LOR by doing that. Such a practice could harm a new, smaller list, but not a large one. On a slippery slope: if this keeps happening, it could create a situation where link list owners choose sides, create alliances and ban big groups of recips, leaving submitters left to decide which set of link lists they want to submit to. That would be ugly.
